For Some Years now we have felt a Crisis was coming in the World Order, but in 2018 the symptoms were emerging with Greater frequency and Intensity. Power Vacuums, The United States is withdrawing from Certain Spaces that other Actors look Eager to fill. Accelerated Technological Change is already resulting in a Redistribution of Power at Global Level and changing the Foundations on which the Economic and Social Orders of the Most Developed Economies are based.... The Calendar also invites us to reflect on the Validity, Durability and Composition of the World Order. One Hundred Years have passed since the First World War, which marked the Beginning of the End of a Euro-Centric World Order.

Poverty, Exclusion, Violence and Climate Change are Phenomena with a Growing Urban Dimension.

They seek to influence the Main Global Agendas around Sustainable Development, aware that the Solution to the Large global Problems begins at Local Level....

By Peter Dale Scott and Published in FRANCE by Demi Lune Editions. Prominent Political Analyst Peter Dale Scott begins by tracing America’s Increasing Militarization, Restrictions on Constitutional Rights, and Income Disparity since the Vietnam War.

He marshals Convincing Evidence that the "Deep State" is partly institutionalized in Non-Accountable Intelligence Agencies like the CIA and NSA, but it also includes Private Corporations like Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC, to which 70 Percent of Intelligence Budgets are outsourced.
